Made me think of Madalyn when my first late husband, Garner, would come home from work Friday evening. He had to work out of town for his job. She always sensed when it was time for Garner to come home and would keep vigilant watch out the window. When Garner would pull up onto the drive way, Madalyn would yipe, bark and howl so loudly I swore all of Nevada knew "her daddy" was back home. Many, many times it brought tears to my eyes to watch her jubilation and love for him. It was a family rule that he absotulely had to greet her first upon entering the home before anyone else in the family.
